Global dimming is the phenomenon where the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface is reduced due to increased particulates in the atmosphere, such as sulfate aerosols. This reduction in sunlight can lead to a fall in temperature, as less solar energy is available to warm the Earth's surface. Therefore, the correct option is the fall of temperature due to increased particulates.
